Liberman: Doesn't take genius to see High Court will torpedo law-Final votes on outpost bill delayed as opposition seeks changes-Committee set to approve text of controversial legislation Tuesday; final plenum votes could turn into week-long marathon-By Marissa Newman and Raoul Wootliff January 30, 2017, 6:24 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The final committee and plenary votes on controversial legislation that would legalize some 4,000 housing units in the West Bank built on privately owned Palestinian land were postponed on Monday, with the opposition seeking seven full days of debates before the votes are held.The legislation was originally scheduled to pass into law on Monday evening. But faced with hundreds of proposed revisions by the opposition, the special committee created to finalize the legislation was forced to delay its votes on the revisions until Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. Once approved by the committee, the legislation will be brought to the plenary for readings.The spokesperson for coalition chairman David Bitan confirmed that the plenum votes were also subsequently pushed off until Tuesday, at the very least. The spokesperson told The Times of Israel the second and third readings in the plenum may not take place on Tuesday and could see further delays.A spokesperson for Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein said the opposition was seeking seven full days of debates before the final votes. The Knesset legal adviser was considering the request.Jewish Home MK Betzalel Smotrich wrote on Twitter that the marathon debates will likely begin Tuesday, continue overnight, resume on Wednesday afternoon and extend through the night to Thursday. The final votes on the Regulation Bill, he projected, would take place next Monday.At the very least, the debate before the final vote was expected to take at least 10 hours with over 500 objections having been presented by the opposition.Condemned by the Barack Obama administration, the European Union, the United Nations and Israel’s attorney general, the so-called Regulation Law is being hailed by the settler movement as a turning point in the 50-year settlement project. Once passed, supporters say, the era of evacuating Jewish settlements will be over, though the measure will not cover the doomed Amona outpost, slated for evacuation by early next month.The legislation had been taken off the Knesset slate late last year, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly waited for Obama to leave office. On Sunday, he announced it would come back for a vote this week.The final draft of the bill outlines the procedures for legalizing unauthorized construction on private land and compensating the Palestinian landowners. It also immediately freezes administrative proceedings in 16 West Bank settlements for a period of 12 months. As the text stands, it does not apply to buildings that have received final demolition orders from Israeli courts, effectively excluding the outpost of Amona, which is set to be razed by next Wednesday.The proposed Regulation Bill stipulates that settlement construction in the West Bank that had been carried out in good faith, without knowledge that the land was privately owned, would be recognized by the government, provided the settlers show some kind of state support in establishing themselves at the site — which in some cases could be as minimal as having access to public infrastructure.Under the bill, the government will be able to appropriate land for its own use if the owners are not known. If the owners are known, they will be eligible for either yearly damages amounting to 125 percent of the value of leasing the land, a larger financial package valued at 20 years’ worth of leasing the plots, or alternate plots.-A ‘very serious danger’ to Israel-Speaking at the weekly Zionist Union faction meeting Monday, opposition leader Isaac Herzog said the bill poses a “very serious danger” to the State of Israel. “This law creates de facto annexation, contrary to all of Israel’s international obligations. It is due to this law that the UN Security Council adopted its resolution against the settlements,” he said.Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman, who has spoken out publicly against the outpost legalization bill, told his Yisrael Beytenu party that he would support it in its final votes.But he said you “don’t have to be a genius” to see that the High Court of Justice will torpedo the law. “The chance of it being rejected by the High Court is 100%.”Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit has warned that the Regulation Bill breaches both local and international law, and indicated that the High Court was likely to strike it down. Some officials, including Netanyahu himself, have also warned that the law could see Israeli officials brought before the International Criminal Court in The Hague.First put forward by the Jewish Home party, the original proposal was intended to overturn a High Court of Justice verdict forbidding the expropriation of the privately owned Palestinian land on which Amona sits. The clause that would have circumvented that court ruling, however, was removed from the bill following coalition infighting.While coalition sources on Sunday said Netanyahu had instructed his chief of staff Yoav Horowitz to explore the possibility of including Amona in the final bill, the special committee created to oversee the legislation was set to finalize the text Tuesday without mention of the outpost.In a deal struck last month with the government, the outpost residents agreed to move peacefully to an adjacent plot. But the deal was complicated after a Palestinian claimed ownership of the nearby plot, prompting the High Court to stop all work on the site.The lack of a clear solution has once again raised the possibility of a forced eviction of the Amona settlers and fears that violence could result. The residents of Amona last week renewed their protest against the government and vowed to resist the evacuation after the compromise appeared to fall through.

As outpost bill resurfaces, settlers bemoan failure to halt ‘final’ eviction-Hundreds gather outside Knesset to protest Amona demolition; West Bank leaders hail ‘opportunity to establish our place in the Land of Israel for hundreds of thousands of years to come’-By Raoul Wootliff January 30, 2017, 6:00 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

As lawmakers in the Knesset attempted to finalize a controversial bill to legalize West Bank outposts, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the parliament building Monday morning to decry the upcoming evacuation of Amona, the most contentious of the unrecognized settlements.The legislation — which would legalize some 4,000 housing units in the West Bank built on privately owned Palestinian land — was set to face a final plenary vote Monday evening but was then postponed until at least Tuesday.Condemned by the Barack Obama administration, the European Union, the United Nations and Israel’s attorney general, the so-called Regulation Law is being hailed by the settler movement as a turning point in the 50-year settlement project. Once passed, supporters say, the era of evacuating Jewish settlements will be over, though the measure will not cover the doomed Amona outpost, slated for evacuation by early next month.The legislation had been taken off the Knesset slate late last year, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly waited for Obama to leave office. On Sunday, he announced it would come back for a vote.“This is a historic moment,” Avi Roeh, head of the Binyamin Regional Council told the crowd. “This is our opportunity to establish our place in the Land of Israel for hundreds of thousands of years to come.”But for the 1,000-plus crowd of youths and families that made their way mostly from West Bank settlements to Jerusalem, the bill barely makes up for the “travesty” of the Amona evacuation.“It is thanks to the fight for Amona that the Regulation Law will be passed,” bellowed Yesha Council chairman Yossi Dagan from the temporary podium less than a hundred meters from the Knesset gates. “But despite the law, the government has failed to prevent the unfathomable tragedy of uprooting a Jewish settlement.”First put forward by the Jewish Home party, the original proposal was intended to overturn a High Court of Justice verdict forbidding the expropriation of the privately owned Palestinian land on which Amona sits. The clause that would have circumvented that court ruling, however, was removed from the bill following coalition infighting.While coalition sources on Sunday said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had instructed his chief of staff Yoav Horowitz to explore the possibility of including Amona in the final bill, a special committee created to oversee the legislation debated the final the text Monday without mention of the outpost.In a deal struck last month with the government, the outpost residents agreed to move peacefully to an adjacent plot.

Some officials, including Netanyahu himself, have also warned that the law could see Israeli officials brought before the International Criminal Court in The Hague.But for the hundreds of teenagers who turned up to the Jerusalem protest, the details of the bill and its possible legality were not important.“We are just here to support the people of Amona,” 15-year-old Techelet Greenberg from the West Bank settlement of Eli said. “We hope the bill will pass, and we hope that we can stop the evacuation but for now, we just want to show support so that hopefully this will be the final evacuation.”

No Syria safe zones without our okay, Damascus demands-Moallem says plan favored by Trump administration will violate sovereignty unless coordinated with Assad regime-By Bassem Mroue January 30, 2017, 7:03 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

BEIRUT (AP) — Syria warned Monday that the creation of safe zones for civilians for which US President Donald Trump has expressed interest would violate the country’s sovereignty unless organized in coordination with the Syrian government.The warning was issued in Damascus by Foreign Minister Walid Moallem during a meeting with the head of the UN refugee agency UNHCR, Filippo Grandi, who began an official visit to Syria on Monday.The announcement came about a week after the Trump administration expressed interest in setting up safe zones for civilians in Syria, an idea that was greeted with caution by Russia and Turkey, who have taken the lead in the latest efforts to end the Mideast country’s devastating six-year war.The idea of safe zones, proposed by both Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton during the US presidential election campaign, was ruled out by the Obama administration for fear it would put US aircraft in harm’s way with Russia waging an air campaign to aid Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces since September 2015.The recent rapprochement between Russia and Turkey, the latter a key backer of Syrian rebels, which now has thousands of troops in northern Syria, in theory makes the creation of safe zones more achievable. So does Trump’s pledge to mend ties with Moscow.However, Syrian state news agency SANA said the foreign ministry and UNHCR officials agreed that any attempt to impose safe zones without coordination with the Syrian government would be an “unsafe act and will pose a violation of the Syrian sovereignty.”Meanwhile, Moallem called on all Syrian refugees who fled the war in their homeland to return home, pledging that the government will meet all their needs. It was not clear if the call was related to Trump’s signing of executive orders placing a 90-day ban on travel to the US by citizens of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia or Yemen, and a 120-day suspension of the US refugee program. Syrians are indefinitely blocked from entry.Syria’s conflict, which began in March 2011, has displaced half the country’s population and seen more than four million Syrians fleeing the country as refugees, mostly to neighboring countries.SANA said Moallem briefed Grandi on the “huge efforts” the Syrian government is exerting to improve the living conditions of its people and the displaced as well.For his part, Grandi stressed that the offering of humanitarian aid will continue.Earlier on Monday, the Syrian military said the evacuation of rebels and their families from the Barada Valley as part of an agreement to surrender the capital region’s primary water source has been completed.The military said via the Telegram messaging system that 1,142 fighters and 760 members of their families have been evacuated from the region northwest of the capital Damascus. They were taken in buses to the rebel-held northwestern province of Idlib.The evacuation marks the end of a nearly six-week-long standoff between rebels and pro-government forces that led to severe water cuts to some five million people around Damascus.It said more people are to be evacuated from the nearby village of Harira but that the process is being delayed because the roads are closed with snow.Meanwhile, the Russian military said its heavy bombers struck the Islamic State group in eastern Syria on Monday, the latest in a series of such raids in recent days.The Russian Defense Ministry said six Tu-22M3 bombers flew from their base in Russia to strike IS targets in the province of Deir el-Zour. It followed four previous such raids between January 21 and 25. Monday’s raid targeted two militant command facilities along with weapons and ammunition depots and militants.Syrian troops have been struggling to repel an IS offensive in Deir el-Zour since earlier this month. The extremists control the entire province except for a small pocket of the provincial capital and a nearby air base.

Polish FM says Trump has the right to ban immigrants-Witold Waszczykowski, whose party opposes entry of Muslim refugees, says ‘no state has the duty to accept immigrants’-By AP January 30, 2017, 12:54 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

WARSAW, Poland — Poland’s foreign minister has defended US President Donald Trump’s immigration order banning entry to people from seven mostly Muslim countries, arguing that every sovereign country has the right to decide its own immigration policy.Witold Waszczykowski said “no state has the duty to accept immigrants” and that Trump “was elected president, he has the right” to impose the ban.Waszczykowski made his comments Sunday evening on Polsat News, a private television station.Waszczykowski belongs to a conservative government that is strongly opposed to accepting Muslim refugees. Last year it played a key role in blocking a European Union effort to resettle refugees across the bloc.Trump’s immigration order has sparked protests at airports and the condemnation of many across the world as a human rights violation.

'It's not a Muslim ban,' president says-Trump: ‘Very strict’ US travel ban ‘working very nicely’-After blocking entry of Syrian refugees, halting immigration from seven Muslim countries, US president vows ‘we’re going to have extreme vetting which we should have had for years’-By AFP January 29, 2017, 12:59 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

US President Donald Trump boasted Saturday that his “very strict” crackdown on Muslim immigration was working “very nicely,” amid mounting resistance to the order which has been branded by many as blatantly discriminatory.In an executive order signed Friday, Trump halted the arrival of refugees for at least 120 days and imposed tough new controls on travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen for the next three months.“It’s not a Muslim ban,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “It’s working out very nicely. You see it at the airports, you see it all over,” Trump told reporters, after travelers from those countries were stopped from boarding US-bound planes, triggering angry protests.“We’re going to have a very, very strict ban and we’re going to have extreme vetting which we should have had in this country for many years.”His comments came as the order faced its first lawsuit, signaling a tough battle ahead in US courts.The legal challenge was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and other advocacy groups after two Iraqi men were detained Friday night at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.Several US airports were rocked by protests and arrests after the ban.It was not immediately clear how many travelers got caught up in Trump’s crackdown, which he says is necessary to prevent “radical Islamic terrorists” from entering the United States.The ban has also triggered a political backlash.“To my colleagues: don’t ever again lecture me on American moral leadership if you chose to be silent today,” Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat, tweeted late Friday.His tweet was accompanied by the now iconic photograph of Aylan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian boy whose body was washed up on a beach in Turkey in 2015 after a failed attempt to flee Syria’s brutal war to join relatives in Canada.Trump spoke by phone on Saturday with various world leaders, amid growing international alarm over his moves.In a flurry of calls that started early in the morning and rounded out an already frantically paced week, Trump spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also had a call planned for later in the day with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.Hollande urged Trump to “respect” the principle of accepting refugees. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose country has been open about welcoming refugees, wrote a Twitter message of support to “those fleeing persecution, terror and war.”To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) January 28, 2017-Trump’s pronouncement on Muslim immigration makes good on one of his most controversial campaign promises to subject travelers from Islamic countries to “extreme vetting,” which he declared would make America safe from “radical Islamic terrorists.”“This is big stuff,” the new US president declared at the Pentagon on Friday, after signing an executive order entitled “Protection of the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States.”The decree suspends the entire US refugee resettlement program for at least 120 days while tough vetting rules are established.The new protocols “ensure that those approved for refugee admission do not pose a threat to the security and welfare of the United States.”In addition, they specifically bar Syrian refugees from the United States indefinitely, or until the president himself decides that they no longer pose a threat.Meanwhile, no visas will be issued for 90 days to migrants or visitors from seven mainly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.US authorities wasted no time implementing Trump’s order, detaining travelers arriving at American airports within hours of the measures being signed, media reports said Saturday.

Obama out, PM pushes ahead with outpost legalization bill-Netanyahu confirms proposal off ice after change in White House; lawmakers looking at restoring clause that would prevent February 8 evacuation of Amona-By Raoul Wootliff January 29, 2017, 3:23 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed Sunday that a controversial bill to legalize some 4,000 housing units in the West Bank built on privately owned Palestinian land will be brought back to the Knesset this week.Requiring only final committee and plenary votes, the so-called Regulation Bill was put on ice in December until Barack Obama finished his term as US president.Now, with a new administration in the White House, the prime minister is not just moving ahead with the bill but also exploring restoring a contentious clause that could prevent the court-ordered evacuation of the Amona outpost, The Times of Israel has learned.Speaking at the weekly cabinet meeting at the Prime Minster’s Office, Netanyahu said the legislation would be brought to the Knesset on Monday.“The law is intended to resolve settlement in Judea and Samaria once and for all and to prevent the repeated attempts to damage the settlement project,” he said.The proposed Regulation Bill stipulates that settlement construction in the West Bank that had been carried out in good faith, without knowledge that the land was privately owned, would be recognized by the government, provided the settlers show some kind of state support in establishing themselves at the site — which in some cases could be as minimal as having access to public infrastructure.Under the bill, the government will be able to appropriate land for its own use if the owners are not known. If the owners are known, they will be eligible for either yearly damages amounting to 125 percent of the value of leasing the land, a larger financial package valued at 20 years’ worth of leasing the plots, or alternate plots.Netanyahu reportedly instructed coalition chairman David Bitan (Likud) on Saturday to bring the proposed legislation to its second and third readings in the plenum this week.A spokesperson for Bitan told The Times of Israel that both the committee meeting to authorize the final text of the bill and the plenary votes to pass it into law are likely to take place on Monday.But in a move that could spell complications for the bill, the prime minister has instructed his chief of staff Yoav Horowitz to explore the possibility of including a clause in the bill that would prevent the February 8 evacuation of Amona, according to coalition sources.First proposed by the Jewish Home party, the original proposal was intended to overturn a High Court of Justice verdict forbidding the expropriation of the privately owned Palestinian land on which Amona sits. The clause that would have circumvented that court ruling, however, was removed from the bill following intense opposition by the centrist Kulanu party.Both the Kulanu and Jewish Home parties declined to comment Monday on the possibility of new negotiations to include Amona.In a deal struck last month with the government, the outpost residents agreed to move peacefully to an adjacent plot. But the deal was complicated after a Palestinian claimed ownership of the nearby plot, prompting the High Court to stop all work on the site.The lack of a clear solution has once again raised the possibility of a forced evacuation of the Amona settlers and fears that violence could result. The residents of Amona last week renewed their protest against the government and vowed to resist the evacuation after the compromise appeared to fall through.Even without the Amona clause, Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit has warned that the Regulation Bill breaches both local and international law, and indicated that the High Court was likely to strike it down. Some officials, including Netanyahu himself, have also warned that the law could see Israeli officials brought before the International Criminal Court in The Hague.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

Netanyahu: Trump right about building wall, ‘great success’ in Israel-Writing in English on Twitter, PM says the recently built fence on Egypt border ‘stopped all illegal immigration’-By Times of Israel staff January 28, 2017, 6:48 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday welcomed praise from Donald Trump for Israel’s security barrier, writing on Twitter that the US president “is right” about walls preventing illegal immigration.Referring to a second barrier, the recently built fence along Israel’s border with Egypt, the prime minister said the measure had been a “great success” in keeping out migrants, who mainly came from African nations.“President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel’s southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea,” Netanyahu wrote in English on Twitter, Trump’s preferred method of communication. The prime minister ended his tweet with emojis of the Israeli and American flags.In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, Trump appeared to be touting Israel’s West Bank security barrier as an example of a successful deterrent to unlawful entry into a country. Israel built the barrier — a combination of fence, concrete wall and sophisticated sensors — in response to the massive wave of deadly Palestinian terrorism that hit the country during the Second Intifada at the start of the millennium, with suicide bombers traveling the short distances into Israel to carry out murderous attacks, and it saw a dramatic fall in suicide bombings.President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel's southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) January 28, 2017-“The wall is necessary,” Trump said Thursday. “That’s not just politics, and yet it is good for the heart of the nation in a certain way, because people want protection and a wall protects. All you’ve got to do is ask Israel. They were having a total disaster coming across and they had a wall. It’s 99.9 percent stoppage.”The barrier along Israel’s Egyptian border is not a concrete wall akin to the one Trump is planning to build on the US-Mexico border, but rather a system of wire fencing and sensors.The president announced Thursday that he was going ahead with his plan for the border wall, which he maintained Mexico would pay for, despite the country’s insistence that it will not foot the bill. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto nixed his planned January 31 meeting with Trump, after the latter tweeted that the meeting should be canceled if Mexico wouldn’t pay for the construction.Israel built the Egyptian border fence in 2012, all but blocking illegal migration, and began extending a fence along its eastern frontier with Jordan. Since 2012, the Israeli government has requested that the migrants in the country leave, giving cash grants to those who depart for their homes or some other African country. The government also has detained thousands of migrants since 2013 in Holot, a detention facility adjacent to a prison on the Egyptian border.According to Israel’s Population, Immigration and Border Authority, more than 60,000 African migrants crossed into Israel illegally from Egypt between 2006 and 2012. The migrants, mostly from Eritrea, say they’re seeking asylum from a brutal dictatorship. Some 45,000 remained in the country as of 2015.The government has viewed them as economic migrants looking for work and, with rare exceptions, has not recognized them as refugees.Trump on Friday also signed an executive order temporarily banning entry to the US for all nationals from seven Muslim countries — Syria, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen — as part of sweeping measures that also suspend all refugee arrivals.

US President Donald Trump doubled down Sunday on his insistence that America needs tighter restrictions on immigration, as the world reacted with outrage to his decision to suspend refugee arrivals and impose tough new controls on travelers from seven Muslim countries.“Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW,” Trump said in a tweet. “Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world – a horrible mess!”US airports and other sites across the United States, including the White House, were expected to see a second wave of protests Sunday against Trump’s temporary immigration ban, which a federal judge partially blocked by ordering authorities not to deport detained refugees and other travelers.The ruling also coincided with a wave of anger and concern abroad, including among US allies.Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world – a horrible mess!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2017-European leaders were quick to condemn the ban.British Prime Minister Theresa May does “not agree” with the restrictions on immigration and will intervene if they affect UK nationals, Downing Street said.“Immigration policy in the United States is a matter for the government of the United States, just the same as immigration policy for this country should be set by our government,” a spokesman for May said.“But we do not agree with this kind of approach and it is not one we will be taking. If there is any impact on UK nationals then clearly we will make representations to the US government about that.”In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel condemned the restrictions on immigration, seeing them as unjustified, her spokesman said.“The chancellor regrets the entry ban imposed by the US government against refugees and nationals from certain countries,” Steffen Seibert said in a statement.“She is convinced that even in the necessarily resolute battle against terrorism it is not justified to place people from a certain origin or belief under general suspicion.”The German government “will now examine the consequences” of the ban for German citizens with dual nationality affected by the decision, he added.The US Department of Homeland Security said Sunday it would continue to enforce Trump’s sweeping executive order, which imposes tough controls on travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. But it also said it would comply with court orders which have partially blocked the temporary ban.“The president’s executive orders remain in place — prohibited travel will remain prohibited, and the US government retains its right to revoke visas at any time if required for national security or public safety,” the agency said in a statement.“The president’s executive order affects a minor portion of international travelers, and is a first step towards reestablishing control over America’s borders and national security.”But the DHS also said it would “comply with judicial orders” — presumably including a federal judge’s ruling that ordered authorities not to deport refugees and other travelers detained at US borders.US District Judge Ann Donnelly granted the stay late Saturday, writing in her decision that sending those travelers back to their home countries following Trump’s order exposes them to “substantial and irreparable injury.”Meanwhile a British MP from May’s Conservative Party on Saturday revealed he would be barred from entering the US under Trump’s clampdown.Iraqi-born MP Nadhim Zahawi tweeted that he had had “confirmation that the order does apply to myself and my wife as we were both born in Iraq,” even though the pair have British passports.“A sad, sad day to feel like a second class citizen! Sad day for the USA,” he added.Zahawi, who has two sons at Princeton University, told BBC’s Andrew Marr show on Sunday that “I don’t think I’ve felt discriminated against since little school. It’s demeaning.”He called on Trump to reconsider the policy, saying it was “counterproductive” in the fight against terrorism but added he was “reassured by my prime minister’s statement on this” and that he understood her “cautious” response.Merkel’s condemnation came a day after she spoke by phone with the new US president, when they discussed a range of issues from relations with Russia to the situation in the Middle East and NATO.Statements released by both sides after the call made no mention of the immigration ban, but Seibert on Sunday said Merkel had reminded the US billionaire of his human rights responsibilities.“The Geneva Refugee Convention calls on the international community to take in war refugees on humanitarian grounds,” he said. “The chancellor stressed this policy in yesterday’s phone call with the US president.”

Muslim world in shock, outrage at Trump’s visa ban-Iranian FM says travel restrictions are ‘a great gift to extremists’-By Eric RANDOLPH January 29, 2017, 4:23 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

TEHRAN, Iran (AFP) — Families split, a father unable to reach his son’s wedding and officials warning of a “gift to extremists” — US President Donald Trump’s visa ban on seven Muslim countries has triggered shock and confusion among those affected.“There is mass hysteria among the Iranian-American community — that’s no exaggeration,” said Saam Borhani, an attorney in Los Angeles.He said clients were bombarding him with questions since Trump passed an executive order on Friday, suspending refugee arrivals and imposing tough controls on travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.With more than one million Iranians living in the United States, the restrictions have already caused chaos for students, businessmen and families.“I have several clients impacted by the executive order — married couples whose spousal visas have been stopped, causing them to be separated. A father living in Iran who is unable to come to his son’s wedding in California,” said Borhani, who was himself born in the US to Iranian parents.US State Department figures show Iran accounted for around a quarter of the 31,804 visas granted to citizens from the seven countries last year.Among thousands facing difficulties, an Iraqi family was barred in Cairo from taking their connecting flight to New York on Saturday.“I had sold my house, my car, my furniture. I resigned from work and so did my wife. I took my children out of school,” Fuad Sharef, 51, told AFP.“Donald Trump destroyed my life. My family’s life. I used to think America was a state of institutions but it’s as though it’s a dictatorship,” he said.An Iranian woman blocked from boarding at Tehran airport on Sunday said she had waited 14 years for her green card.“Even during the hostage crisis at the US embassy (in 1980), the US government didn’t issue such an order. They say the US is the cradle of liberty. I don’t see freedom in that country,” she said, asking not to be named.-‘Gift to extremists’-The US embassy in Baghdad said on Facebook that dual nationals from the seven countries would be barred from entering the United States, excluding those with American passports.“Daeshi decision,” Baghdad resident Nibal Athed wrote in response to the post, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.He asked why the list excluded Afghanistan, Pakistan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which he described as the “biggest sponsors of terrorism.”Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Sunday that Trump’s move “will be recorded in history as a great gift to extremists and their supporters.”“Collective discrimination aids terrorist recruitment by deepening fault-lines exploited by extremist demagogues to swell their ranks,” he tweeted.His ministry said earlier that it would reciprocate with a ban on Americans entering the country, though it will not apply to those who already have a valid visa.Meanwhile, Yemen’s Huthi rebels, who control the capital Sanaa, also criticised the ban, stating: “All attempts to classify Yemen and its citizens as a probable source for terrorism and extremism is illegal and illegitimate.”Yemenis made up the largest contingent — 12,998 — of immigrants to the US last year from the seven countries.-‘Trump’s wall reaches Iran’-The situation has been complicated by a US federal judge, who ordered authorities on Saturday to stop deporting refugees and other travelers stuck at US airports.“Uncertainty is the key word. Things are changing quickly and we’re trying to keep people updated,” said Borhani, the lawyer in LA.Getting a visa was already tough for Iranians, who had to travel to Turkey or the United Arab Emirates for the nearest US embassy.BBC Persian reported that 9,000 Iranian asylum seekers were now blocked in Turkey.After rising hopes under former president Barack Obama that relations between Iran and the US were improving, Trump has thrown everything back up in the air, Borhani said.“I don’t know what the future is going to hold, whether people here will be cut off permanently from their families in Iran. It’s very stressful.”Meanwhile, Iran’s leading daily Hamshahri was headlined: “The United States has cut its relations with the Iranian people.”Top reformist paper Shahrvand led with: “Trump’s wall has reached Iran.”

Iran vows to bar Americans in response to Trump’s ‘insulting’ ban-Tehran slams decision to block its citizens from US as ‘illegal, illogical and contrary to international rules’-By AFP January 28, 2017, 7:13 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran will ban Americans from entering the country in response to US President Donald Trump’s “insulting” order restricting arrivals from Iran and six other Muslim states, the foreign ministry said Saturday.“The Islamic Republic of Iran… has decided to respond in kind after the insulting decision of the United States concerning Iranian nationals,” the ministry said in a statement carried by state television.Trump on Friday signed a sweeping executive order to suspend refugee arrivals and impose tough controls on travelers from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.Iran’s foreign ministry called the decision “illegal, illogical and contrary to international rules.”It said its own ban on US nationals would continue until the American measure was lifted.It said it had ordered Iranian diplomatic missions to help Iranians who had been “prevented from returning to their homes and places of work and study” in the United States.Travel agents in Tehran said that foreign airlines had begun barring Iranians from US-bound flights. Two agencies told AFP they had been instructed by Etihad Airways, Emirates and Turkish Airlines not to sell US tickets or allow Iranians holding American visas to board US-bound flights.With more than a million Iranians living in the United States, many families are concerned about the implications of Trump’s visa ban.

Trump’s executive order on refugees, immigration: What does it mean?-No visas for Syrians; 4-month refugee halt; review of refugee vetting process; 90-day ban on entry from 7 Muslim countries with terrorism concerns-By Alicia A. Caldwell January 28, 2017, 4:33 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday making major changes to America’s policies on refugees and immigration.A look at what Trump ordered:Syria-Trump’s order directs the State Department to stop issuing visas to Syrian nationals and halts the processing of Syrian refugees. That will remain in effect until Trump determines that enough security changes have been made to ensure that would-be terrorists can’t exploit weaknesses in the current vetting system.-Refugees-Trump ordered a four-month suspension to America’s broader refugee program. The suspension is intended to provide time to review how refugees are vetted before they are allowed to resettle in the United States.Trump’s order also cuts the number of refugees the United States plans to accept this budget year by more than half, to 50,000 people from around the world.During the last budget year the US accepted 84,995 refugees, including 12,587 people from Syria. Former president Barack Obama had set the current refugee limit at 110,000.The temporary halt to refugee processing does include exceptions for people claiming religious persecution, so long as their religion is a minority faith in their country. That could apply to Christians from Muslim-majority countries.-Extreme vetting-Trump’s order did not spell out specifically what additional steps he wants to see the Homeland Security and State departments to add to the country’s vetting system for refugees. Instead he directed officials to the review the refugee application and approval process to find any other security measures that can be added to prevent people who pose a threat from using the refugee program.During the Obama administration, vetting for refugees included in-person interviews overseas, where they provided biographical details about themselves, including their families, friendships, social or political activities, employment, phone numbers, email accounts and more. They also provided biometric information, including fingerprints. Syrians were subject to additional, classified controls that administration officials at the time declined to describe, and processing for that group routinely took years to complete.-Other immigration-Trump’s executive order suspends all immigration from countries with terrorism concerns for 90 days. The State Department said the three-month ban in the directive applied to Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen — all Muslim-majority nations.The order also calls for Homeland Security and State Department officials, along with the director of national intelligence, to review what information the government needs to fully vet would-be visitors and come up with a list of countries that don’t provide it. The order says the government will give countries 60 days to start providing the information or citizens from those countries will be barred from traveling to the United States.Barring any travel to the US from those seven countries, even temporarily, appears to at least partially fulfill a campaign promise Trump made to ban Muslims from coming to the United States until assurances can be made that visitors are properly vetted.

Knesset panel approves release of 2014 Gaza war report-With only small sections excised to protect classified information, comptroller prepares to publish findings said to censure Netanyahu and Ya’alon-By Times of Israel staff January 29, 2017, 5:23 pm

A Knesset subcommittee on Sunday unanimously approved releasing to the public parts of a biting comptroller’s report into how the security cabinet of top-level ministers handled itself during the war in Gaza in 2014.Last week, the subcommittee on classified information, part of the parliament’s State Control Committee, delayed making a final decision on the report due to security considerations that came up as the panel reviewed the materials intended for publication. After consulting with relevant officials, only small parts of the original report were deemed too sensitive for release.State Comptroller Yosef Shapira will make the final decision on when the document will be released, though he is expected to make it available to the public in the next two weeks.When it is eventually released, the document will give Israelis a rare look at the discussions of one of the most powerful and secretive state institutions, the powerful ten-member committee of ministers that oversees national security and foreign policy.The report of the ministers’ handling of the 2014 war, dubbed Operation Protective Edge, is said to show bitter infighting among members of the security cabinet, especially between then-defense minister Moshe Ya’alon and then-economy minister Naftali Bennett.Coalition officials, particularly those close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, fought against releasing the report.The report finds that despite Netanyahu’s claims to the contrary, he and Ya’alon did not properly inform the security cabinet of the extent of the threat emanating from Hamas’s cross-border tunnels, Channel 2 reported in November.Some members of the security cabinet during Protective Edge have long complained that Netanyahu would not allow serious consultations and decisions in the forum. Part of the criticism, especially by Bennett, was already voiced during the war itself, during which he took to visiting frontline army units and discussing the war’s progress with officers in the field.Bennett, who has since moved on to the position of education minister, maintains that he became aware of the urgency of dealing with cross-border tunnels, an issue that became the war’s main goal in its final weeks, outside the confines of cabinet discussions, including during his conversations with IDF officers, and that the threat posed by the tunnels was not properly discussed or understood in the security cabinet’s meetings.Netanyahu and Ya’alon have denied Bennett’s claims, and criticized as “populist” his public excoriation of the army’s strategy while fighting was still underway in Gaza.Both Bennett and then-finance minister Yair Lapid, another critic of Netanyahu’s handling of the wartime cabinet, called last week for the Knesset to make the comptroller’s findings public.“We must not suppress the report on Protective Edge or use it to see heads roll,” but rather learn from it, Bennett said at the weekly Jewish Home faction meeting last Monday.“Only the disclosure of the non-confidential elements and the study of its particulars will allow us to move forward,” he said. “I was there; we can do better.”Lapid, who leads the opposition Yesh Atid party, said the government must make the report public for the sake of the bereaved Israeli families of soldiers killed in the 50-day conflict.“They need to release the report for the families of the fallen; they deserve to know what happened there. There’s no room for politics when you are talking about the security of soldiers and well-being of residents of Gaza-area communities,” he said.Lapid accused Netanyahu of attempting to bury the report for political reasons.“The Prime Minister’s Office fears this report, because serious failures emerge from it,” he said. “Because the report reveals that the account the public received [on the war] was not the true account.”Opposition leader Isaac Herzog joined the chorus. “The Israeli public, and especially families who lost loved ones, deserve to know how their leaders acted when they sent their sons into battle, and how discussions on new strategic threats, chief among them the tunnels, were carried out,” he said at the start of the weekly meeting of his Zionist Union faction Monday.

Israel approves 153 new homes in East Jerusalem, official says-Deputy mayor says approval by city planning committee among those held up due to pressure from Obama administration-By Sara Miller January 26, 2017, 2:01 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Tom Udall of New Mexico as saying that the Senate resolution’s language is objectionable as it does not recognize that settlements are an obstruction to peace. Udall says that should Durbin lift his hold, he would place one of his own.The Republican Jewish Coalition responds by urging its members to call Durbin’s office to “stop playing games with Israel’s security.”— JTA-16:29-Trump to Mexico leader: Pay for wall or meeting is off-Trump takes to Twitter to threaten Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto with canceling their January 31 meeting if his country refuses to pay for the wall the American leader plans to build along their shared border.“The US has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico.

Trump talk about moving U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem has Israel buzzing-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-January 25, 2017

The U.S. Embassy in Israel isn't much to look at it: a drab, beige building across the street from Tel Aviv's picturesque and sun-soaked beaches. But it's the diplomatic mission that has Israelis — and Palestinians — talking.Why? Two words: Donald Trump.The self-proclaimed "best friend of Israel" during his presidential campaign, he promised to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a decision that would extend American recognition of the Holy City as Israel's capital while angering Palestinians even before the first moving van hits the highway.Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat told CBC News that members of his staff have begun discussions with the Trump Administration to work out details of the move."The next step is they walk in and probably move the embassy in stages," Barkat said."The ambassador first. Have him have an office. And slowly, but gradually, move the embassy. I think it would be a very important, strong statement by the Trump administration."It would also be hugely contentious.In the long-running Israel-Palestinian conflict, the status of Jerusalem is one of the most difficult issues in the search for peace.The Holy City is the seat of the Israeli government, but there are no foreign embassies located here. Canada — like all nations with diplomatic ties to Israel — has its mission in Tel Aviv.Israelis consider Jerusalem, including territory in the eastern part of the city captured from Jordan in the Six Day War in 1967, to be its eternal and undivided capital.Palestinians lay claim to Jerusalem as the capital of their future state."Therefore any [embassy] move by the U.S. would disqualify the U.S. as any kind of peace broker or partner in peace," said Hanan Ashrawi, a senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organization."It would make [the United States] complicit in Israeli violations, and it would destroy the chances of peace and provoke extremism and violence," Ashrawi told CBC News from Ramallah, the West Bank city that is the de facto Palestinian capital.Promising to move the U.S. embassy is nothing new.During their campaigns, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush both made the same pledge, but backed off due to security concerns when they took office.In 1979, then Progressive Conservative leader Joe Clark campaigned on a promise to move the Canadian Embassy to Jerusalem, but also never followed through when he became prime minister.Trump, however, seems more serious, telling a conservative Israeli newspaper, "You know, I'm not a person who breaks promises."Palestinians have already protested Trump's plans, and there are worries of a potential uprising if the embassy transfer goes ahead. Israeli media have reported that the country's army has drawn up plans to deal with an outbreak of violence.While the decision will be made by the U.S. president, it's Israel that would face the consequences. It could lead to international criticism of Israel and harm the country's relationship with Arab neighbours, including Jordan and Egypt.The consequences of the move have some Israelis asking whether it's all worth it."We have enough challenges around us, and I think it would be a huge mistake to turn the matter of the embassy into a central one," Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said at a security forum in December.With that kind of skepticism in mind, some Israeli political analysts have begun to parse the latest words from the White House, seeing an administration that may be dragging its feet on the issue."There's no decision" on the embassy move, said Sean Spicer, the White House spokesman on Monday. "We're at the very early stages of that decision-making process."Alon Pinkas, a former Israeli consul general in New York, said the Trump administration is "kind of scaling back" the embassy move."They're not ruling it out, but they're not going to do this as a first order of business."Pinkas wouldn't speculate whether he thinks Trump will follow through with his campaign promise by the end of his term, but he's hopeful."Imagine if Israel is declaring that they're going to move their embassy to Toronto or Montreal because they don't respect Ottawa as the capital of Canada," Pinkas said in Tel Aviv. "I mean, how ridiculous will that seem?"

Netanyahu, Giuliani meet in run-up to summit with Trump-Confidant to new US president delivers message of ‘friendship’ to Israeli leader-By Times of Israel staff and JTA January 26, 2017, 2:40 pm

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with former New York City mayor and confidant of US President Donald Trump Rudy Giuliani Thursday morning, with the Prime Minister’s Office saying in a statement that Giuliani delivered a personal message from Trump to the prime minister in anticipation of their scheduled meeting in early February.Giuliani, who is serving as an unofficial adviser on cybersecurity for the Trump administration, told Fox News earlier this week that he might pass a message of friendship from the US president to Netanyahu during his time in Israel.Appearing Monday morning on “Fox and Friends,” Giuliani was asked whether he will be relaying a message to Netanyahu from Trump during a business trip starting that evening.“If I do, it’ll be from him,” Giuliani said. “But I can give the general message, which is ‘I like you very much and we’re very good friends.’“They were friends even before. This is not a new relationship, but now obviously it’s a much more important one,” Giuliani said.On Sunday, Netanyahu spoke with Trump by telephone for the first time since the latter’s inauguration, marking what some Israeli officials hope will be the start of a reset in ties with the US after years of strained relations with the administration of former US president Barack Obama.Trump invited Netanyahu to visit Washington in February during the phone call, with a final date to be set in the coming days, a statement released Sunday from the PMO said.Trump told reporters after the half-hour phone call that his conversation with Netanyahu was “very nice,” a sentiment the prime minister echoed on Monday when he said during a Likud faction meeting that their chat was “very warm.”According to Netanyahu’s office the two leaders discussed the Iran deal, the peace process, and “other issues,” while “the prime minister expressed his desire to work closely with President Trump to forge a common vision to advance peace and security in the region, with no daylight between the United States and Israel,” Sunday’s statement saidGiuliani is in Israel for his law firm, Greenberg Trauring. Guiliani said his meeting with Netanyahu is something he does every time he visits Israel, since the two men have been friends for 25 years.

Palestinians say Obama’s last-minute $221 million payout frozen by Trump-Source says State Department has notified Ramallah the funds will not be immediately available, while it examines the transfer-By Avi Issacharoff and AP January 25, 2017, 7:43 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The Trump administration has informed the Palestinian Authority that it is freezing the transfer of $221 million which was quietly authorized by the Obama administration in its final hours on January 20, a senior Palestinian source has told The Times of Israel.US officials conveyed to PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah on Tuesday that the funds were not expected to be handed over in the immediate future, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.On Tuesday, the State Department said it was reviewing the last-minute decision by former secretary of state John Kerry to send the funds to the Palestinians despite objections to the transfer by congressional Republicans.The department said it would look at the payment and might make adjustments to ensure it comports with the Trump administration’s priorities.The Obama administration had for some time been pressing for the release of the money for the Palestinian Authority, which comes from the US Agency for International Development, known as USAID, and is to be used for humanitarian aid in the West Bank and Gaza to support political and security reforms, as well as help prepare for good governance and the rule of law in a future Palestinian state, according to the notification sent to Congress.Even without the $221 million, the Palestinian source noted that in 2016 the PA received $250 million from the US government.These funds included $180 million from USAID, $25 million to support Palestinian hospitals and $45 million to pay for fuel purchased from Israel.Congress had initially approved the Palestinian funding in budget years 2015 and 2016, but at least two GOP lawmakers — Ed Royce of California, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Kay Granger of Texas, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee — had placed holds on it over moves the Palestinian Authority had taken to seek membership in international organizations. Congressional holds are generally respected by the executive branch but are not legally binding after funds have been allocated.Kerry formally notified Congress that State would release the extra $221 million money Friday morning, just hours before President Donald Trump took the oath of office.Granger released a statement Tuesday saying, “I am deeply disappointed that President Obama defied congressional oversight and released $221 million to the Palestinian territories.”She added: “I worked to make sure that no American taxpayer dollars would fund the Palestinian Authority unless very strict conditions were met. While none of these funds will go to the Palestinian Authority because of those conditions, they will go to programs in the Palestinian territories that were still under review by Congress. The Obama Administration’s decision to release these funds was inappropriate.”

US warns of anti-American violence risk in Turkey-American consulate says ‘extremist groups’ are persisting in ‘frequent and aggressive efforts to attack US citizens’-By AFP January 26, 2017, 4:42 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

The United States embassy in Turkey on Thursday warned against the risk of attacks against its citizens in the country after a rise in anti-American rhetoric.Turkey has been hit by a slew of attacks over the last months claimed by jihadists and Kurdish militants that have left the country on edge.In the latest strikes, 39 people were gunned down in an attack on New Year’s night claimed by Islamic State jihadists at an Istanbul nightclub.Just three weeks earlier, 46 people were killed in a double suicide bombing claimed by Kurdish militants close to the stadium of the Besiktas football club.The attacks prompted claims in the radical conservative press that the United States had a hand in the violence, although the allegations have been repeatedly and angrily denied by the embassy.“An increase in anti-American rhetoric has the potential to inspire independent actors to carry out acts of violence against US citizens,” the embassy said in a travel warning.It said new attacks could occur at major events, tourist sites, restaurants, nightclubs, shopping centres, places of worship, and transportation hubs.An October order for family members of employees posted to the US Consulate in Istanbul to depart Turkey temporarily remains in place, it added.Meanwhile, all US government travel to Istanbul is subject to State Department approval, it said.This is based on intelligence “indicating extremist groups are continuing frequent and aggressive efforts to attack US citizens and foreign expatriates in areas of Istanbul where they reside or frequent,” it said.Several Turkish officials and media outlets blamed the United States for the failed July 15 coup aimed at toppling President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, allegations ridiculed by Washington.The alleged mastermind of the plot, the preacher Fethullah Gulen, lives in the United States but has denied any links to the putsch.Washington has so far not yielded to persistent Turkish requests to extradite Gulen, increasing tensions in relations and raising the hackles of Erdogan’s supporters.In another sign of the poor atmosphere, Erdogan on December 27 accused the United States of supporting “terror groups” in Syria, even including Islamic State jihadists.

Truck driver turns himself in after smashing dozens of cars in Tel Aviv-After initially fled scene, man came to police after public appeal to track him down, sent for questioning-By Times of Israel staff January 26, 2017, 4:10 pm

A truck driver, who sparked a police manhunt in Tel Aviv on Thursday, after he hit dozens of parked cars on two narrow streets in the city and fled the scene, turned himself in to police.Police said that the 33-year-old resident of Petah Tikva came to them voluntarily and was sent for questioning.Earlier the man contacted police after they issued an appeal for public help in tracking him down. They were seeking any information that could help locate the driver and his truck.Video recorded by a fellow driver shows the truck banging and scraping the cars as it makes it way down Mazeh and Strauss streets in central Tel Aviv.Ynet quoted an eyewitness who said the driver was aware of the damage he was doing, yet failed to stop.“I approached him and asked him what he was doing, and in response he swore at me and carried on zigzagging between the cars,” the eyewitness, Rami Raz, told Ynet.No one was hurt in the incident and police stressed that they do not believe it was terror-related.

Stop playing with the generals,’ Lapid told Bennett during Gaza war-Fresh leaks from secretive security cabinet reveal sharp strife among top ministers during the 2014 conflict-By Times of Israel staff January 26, 2017, 3:48 pm

Further animosity between senior Israeli officials during the 2014 war with Gaza cabinet discussions was revealed Thursday as more explosive leaks from those meetings came to light.Ahead of the impending release of a State Comptroller report said to be fiercely critical of Israel’s political and military command during war, Yedioth Ahronoth published a second round of transcripts painting a picture of a deeply fractious leadership before and throughout the military operation.The latest excerpts reveal a web of distrust and discontent between the then-ministers of defense, foreign affairs, finance and education, and a general skepticism toward the information being provided by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.In a transcript from July 1, 2014, a day after the bodies of three Israeli teenagers kidnapped and murdered by a Hamas cell were found, then-education minister Naftali Bennett hurls criticism at then-defense minister Moshe Ya’alon for what he calls a “weak and disgraceful” response.A day later, Yair Lapid, who served at the time as finance minister slams Bennett for “playing with the generals” suggesting they were underplaying the treat of terror-tunnel emanating from Gaza.In the months before the kidnapping, the IDF had uncovered a number of tunnels from Gaza reaching into Israel, leading to assessments that Hamas terrorists were planning a large-scale attack. Bennett has contended that the security cabinet was not given enough information about the threat.“I demand a plan for the tunnels,” Bennett tells the security cabinet on June 2, according to the Yedioth transcript.“The tunnel problem is new and we have no response,” Netanyahu responds before Ya’alon interrupts to contradict the prime minister. “We are ready with plans,” Ya’alon says.Frustrated, Lapid tells Bennett: “The debate about neutralizing the tunnel threat is not for the security cabinet. This isn’t a battalion commanders’ forum.”“This is really not for battalion commanders, this is for the security cabinet,” Bennett says.“Stop playing with the generals,” Lapid replies.State Comptroller Yosef Shapira’s report — the public release of which the Knesset pushed off on Tuesday due to security considerations — is said to show bitter infighting among members of the security cabinet, especially between Ya’alon and Bennett over the conduct of the war in Gaza, dubbed Operation Protective Edge.Leaked transcripts published by Yedioth Ahronoth on Monday highlighted the bitter divide between Ya’alon and Bennett, with the two clashing over Israel’s approach to the war and how aggressive a response to take to the threat of attack tunnels built by Hamas reaching into Israel.Thursday’s excerpts show Ya’alon accusing Bennett of undermining him by contacting senior field officers behind his back.“You will not run my army, you will not come from the field and tell me, ‘we should do this, we shouldn’t do this,’ you hear?” Ya’alon tells Bennet during a July 15 meeting.“I will, if the truth is not being reported,” Bennett replies.The conflict between the two reached new heights this week, as Ya’alon and Bennett traded barbs at the Institute for National Security Studies’ conference in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, with Ya’alon hinting that Bennett leaked the conversations of the cabinet meetings “to get a few ‘likes’ on Facebook,” while Bennett characterized the military’s approach under Ya’alon as being defined by “rigidity and footslogging.”Following the latest Yedioth report, Ya’alon accused Bennett of causing damage to the cabinet and its procedures, the Hebrew-language Walla News site reported.The new transcripts also shed light on how the ministers differed in their approach to accepting a Hamas ceasefire.In a conversation reported to have taken place on July 15, a week into the fighting and two days before the ground operation was launched, Ya’alon and Netanyahu try to persuade the cabinet to accept an offer from Hamas to end hostilities.“The IDF’s accomplishments are excellent. Now we need to decide whether we accept the ceasefire,” then-IDF chief of Staff Benny Gantz tells the security cabinet.“There is willingness on Hamas’s part to end the escalation. That much is clear,” head of the Military Intelligence Directorate at the time, Aviv Kochavi says.Both Ya’alon and Netanyahu appear to be in favor of accepting a deal.“We’ve won,” Netanyahu says. “We inflicted 180 losses [of lives] on them. We must demand the demilitarization of the tunnels and the elimination of rockets.”But Bennett objects to the ceasefire, saying that, “The tunnels haven’t been destroyed, we must destroy them first.”

Arab League accuses Israel of showing ‘contempt’ via settlements-Group’s head Ahmed Aboul Gheit says Jerusalem is ‘causing all efforts to implement the two-state solution to fail’-By AFP and Times of Israel staff January 25, 2017, 3:59 pm

The Arab League on Wednesday condemned Israel’s announcement of new settlements the day before as a sign of “contempt” for the international community and an obstacle to peace.Israel on Tuesday approved 2,500 new homes in the West Bank in a major expansion of settlement construction following the election of US President Donald Trump.The settlements are seen as illegal under international law and critics label them as a major stumbling block to peace as they are built on land the Palestinians want for their own state.Tuesday’s announcement “confirms the Israeli government’s approach, which is full of contempt and defiance for the will of the international (community),” the head of the Cairo-based Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, said in a statement.The statement accused Israel of “causing all efforts to implement the two-state solution to fail.” It also suggested Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government feels “strengthened” by “recent international developments,” in an apparent reference to Trump taking the reins at the White House.The move has already drawn widespread international criticism. The Palestinians quickly condemned the announcement, calling it “land theft and colonialism.”“Such a deliberate escalation of Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise constitutes a war crime and the flagrant violation of international law and conventions, in particular UN Security Council resolution 2334,” said PLO Executive Committee member Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, referring to an anti-settlements UN decision passed last month.The European Union also responded critically, branding the announcement a “regrettable” move that would further undermine prospects of negotiating regional peace agreement.The United Nations echoed the EU in denouncing Israeli initiatives to accelerate settlement construction in Palestinian-claimed territory, stressing that “unilateral actions” are an obstacle to peace based on a two-state solution.Trump has signaled strong support for Israel, and Israeli right-wing politicians have sought to take advantage of this, with hardliners calling for an end to the idea of a Palestinian state.In a stark departure from previous US rhetoric, the US did not condemn Tuesday’s announcement, with White House press secretary Sean Spicer saying during Tuesday’s daily press briefing that “we’re going to have a meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu and we’ll continue to discuss that.”“Israel continues to be a huge ally of the United States, [Trump] wants to grow closer with Israel, to make sure that it gets the full respect that it deserves in the Middle East,” Spicer added.

New settlement homes are just a ‘taste,’ Netanyahu tells MKs-‘We are going to be doing many things differently from now on,’ the prime minister says a day after Israel approves2,500 West Bank homes-By Raoul Wootliff January 25, 2017, 4:09 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that the 2,500 new West Bank settlement homes approved a day earlier were just a “taste” of things to come now that Barack Obama is no longer US president.Speaking at the annual Prime Minister’s Questions session in the Knesset, Netanyahu said the move came after eight years in which Israel “suffered” from Obama’s “not-one-brick policy,” referring to claims the prime minister has made in the past that the US administration told him it would oppose all new building beyond the Green Line.“And we are not talking about outposts or even settlement blocs,” Netanyahu told the plenary, “we are talking about here, in Jerusalem. They wouldn’t let us build here either.”But, the prime minister said, “We are leaving the period. This building [approval] was a taste. We are going to be doing many things differently from now on,” he said.Netanyahu was taking questions from lawmakers in the Knesset plenum as part of the Question Time format introduced in Israel’s parliament last year. Under the procedure, opposition MKs can choose 10 ministers, including the prime minister, to answer questions once during the legislative year.Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman announced on Tuesday that Israel had approved the construction of approximately 2,500 homes in the West Bank, most of them in existing settlement blocs it hopes to keep in any peace deal with the Palestinians.The decision came two days after a Jerusalem planning committee approved the construction of 566 housing units in East Jerusalem, and on the heels of a phone conversation Sunday between Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump, in which the two discussed their plans for the region.Asked at Tuesday’s daily press briefing for a response to Israel’s announcement, White House press secretary Sean Spicer neither approved nor condemned the decision, saying that Trump would discuss the matter when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits Washington next month.“We’re going to have a meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu and we’ll continue to discuss that,” he said. “Israel continues to be a huge ally of the United States, he wants to grow closer with Israel, to make sure that it gets the full respect that it deserves in the Middle East.”The statement marked a dramatic break from the policy of Obama, who routinely castigated Israel for building in such areas.Most of the housing units will be built in the large settlement areas, notably in the city of Ariel and in Givat Ze’ev, outside Jerusalem. But some will also go up in settlements outside the larger blocs, due to prior agreements and court decisions.“We’re building — and will continue to build,” Netanyahu said following the approval.Palestinians quickly condemned the announcement, calling it “land theft and colonialism.”In total, 2,502 housing units were approved for construction in settlements across the West Bank, with most in the north.In the northern West Bank, 899 will be built in the city of Ariel, 292 in the Zufim settlement, 166 in Emanuel, 154 in Oranit, 81 in Etz Efraim, 78 in Alfei Menashe, 18 in Elkana and six in Shaare Tikva, the defense minister’s office said.In the Jerusalem area, some 652 housing units were approved for the Givat Ze’ev settlement, 104 in Ma’ale Adumim and four in Har Gilo.In the Etzion settlement bloc, 21 homes were approved for Efrat, and the defense minister okayed 87 housing units for the Beitar Illit settlement, outside Bethlehem.Outside the larger settlement areas, Liberman and Netanyahu allowed the construction of 86 homes for the former residents of the evacuated Migron settlement, who now live in the Yekev neighborhood of the Kochav Ya’akov settlement, south of Ramallah. The approval was granted in accordance with an agreement between the government and Migron residents.In addition, 20 homes were approved in the Beit El settlement, north of Ramallah, as part of a High Court of Justice decision, the defense minister said.— Judah Ari Gross contributed to this report.

EU 'mumbles and grumbles' on Israeli settlements By Andrew Rettman-JAN 25,17-EUOBSERVER

BRUSSELS, Today, 10:56-EU “regret” on Israel’s new settlement surge will be seen as empty “mumbling and grumbling” in the Donald Trump era, diplomats say.The EU foreign service on Tuesday (24 January) said it was “regrettable that Israel is proceeding with this policy, despite the continuous serious international concern and objections”.It added that settlement expansions “seriously undermine the prospects for a viable two-state solution” and were “illegal under international law”.The EU spoke after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the green light to almost 3,100 new housing units for Jewish settlers in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, which Israel won by conquest in 1967.Over half a million settlers now live on Palestinian land, which is being sliced into isolated chunks as the Jewish towns and outposts spread.Netanyahu’s announcement briefly deflected Israeli media attention from a corruption scandal that could see him pushed out of office.It was also designed to please far-right elements in his Likud party and in the Jewish Home party in the ruling coalition, which wants to "annex" vast swathes of Palestinian land.The 3,100 new homes, described by the Palestinian Authority as a “provocation”, were also greeted as a “disappointment” by the Yesha Council, a settler group, which had wanted a higher number.-Trump pro-Israel-The new wave of expansion comes after the election of Donald Trump in the US, a pro-Israeli hawk, who has said he might move the US embassy from Tel Aviv, Israel’s UN-recognised capital, to Jerusalem, which is claimed by both Israel and Palestine, and which the EU and UN say ought to be shared.Netanyahu will meet Trump in Washington in early February if the Israeli leader survives the corruption affair.But if the US, Israel’s main financial and security sponsor, gives it a free hand to keep snatching Palestinian land, then EU statements, like the one on Tuesday, will be seen by Israel as little more than “mumbling and grumbling”, a European diplomatic source told EUobserver.The EU last year published new retail label guidelines designed to stigmatise settler products in European shops.But EU foreign relations chief Federica Mogherini is not working on any further measures and has quashed calls by EU states’ ambassadors in Palestine to take a tougher line, diplomatic sources said.Aalon Ben Meir, a scholar of Middle East affairs at New York University, told EUobserver that if Trump went ahead with the Jerusalem embassy idea, then the “EU should raise its voice loud and clear, as this will potentially create major turmoil throughout the Middle East [and] kill whatever is left of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process”.He advised the EU to hold off on any potential “sanctions” on Israel until Trump clarified his intentions.He added that the EU’s voice still “resonated to some extent” in Israel and that if it went further on settlement expansion, then Europe must “put Israel on notice that these activities … can potentially create a new wave of violence” in the region.

Kerry informed some lawmakers of the move just before he left State Dep't for last time-US released $221 million to Palestinians in Obama’s last hours-Officials say outgoing administration defied GOP opposition, sent funds to PA that had been blocked in Congress-By Matthew Lee and Richard Lardner January 24, 2017, 12:39 am-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

WASHINGTON (AP) — Officials say the Obama administration in its waning hours defied Republican opposition and quietly released $221 million to the Palestinian Authority that GOP members of Congress had been blocking.A State Department official and several congressional aides said the outgoing administration formally notified Congress it would spend the money Friday morning. The official said former Secretary of State John Kerry had informed some lawmakers of the move shortly before he left the State Department for the last time Thursday. The aides said written notification dated Jan. 20 was sent to Congress just hours before Donald Trump took the oath of office.In addition to the $221 million for the Palestinians, the Obama administration also told Congress on Friday it was going ahead with the release of another $6 million in foreign affairs spending, including $4 million for climate change programs and $1.25 million for UN organizations, the congressional aides said. The aides and the State Department official weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity.Congress had initially approved the Palestinian funding in budget years 2015 and 2016, but at least two GOP lawmakers — Ed Royce of California, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Kay Granger of Texas, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee — had placed holds on it over moves the Palestinian Authority had taken to seek membership in international organizations.Congressional holds are generally respected by the executive branch but are not legally binding after funds have been allocated.The Obama administration had for some time been pressing for the release of the money for the Palestinian Authority, which comes from the US Agency for International Development and is to be used for humanitarian aid in the West Bank and Gaza, to support political and security reforms as well as help prepare for good governance and the rule of law in a future Palestinian state, according to the notification sent to Congress.The $1.25 million for UN agencies is to be used as voluntary contributions to the UN Peacebuilding Fund; the UN Special Coordinator on improving the UN response to sexual exploitation and abuse; the Montreal Protocol Secretariat, which oversees the protection of the ozone layer; the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights; and the UN System Staff College.The $4 million for climate programs includes assistance for clean energy, sustainable landscapes, cutting greenhouse gas emissions and creating a climate technology center.The last-minute allocation also contained $1.05 million in funding for the State Department’s Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan office and the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs.The Palestinian funding is likely to draw anger from some in Congress as well as the Trump White House. Trump has vowed to be a strong supporter of Israel and has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to visit Washington next month.He has also pledged to move the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, although White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Monday a final decision on that had yet to be made. Despite speculation in Israel that an announcement of the move is imminent, Spicer said the decision-making process is only in its very early stages.“If it was already a decision, then we wouldn’t be going through a process,” Spicer told reporters.

It is the time for responsible, wise diplomacy, with friends'-After 8 years of ‘enormous pressure,’ Netanyahu cheers Trump’s ‘change of approach’-PM says US president shares his belief that Iran nuclear deal is ‘bad,’ warns coalition partners against ‘knee-jerk reactions’ or ‘surprises’-By Marissa Newman January 23, 2017, 4:41 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday hailed US President Donald Trump for ushering in a “change of approach” in the White House after eight years of “enormous pressure” from former president Barack Obama.Speaking to a meeting of his Likud faction a day after his first phone call with Trump, Netanyahu said the US president, like him, believes the Iran deal is “bad,” and that peace with the Palestinians will only be achieved through direct talks. He also reiterated that the call was “very warm,” and confirmed the two would meet in Washington early next month.“After eight years in which I withstood enormous pressure on various issues, primarily Iran and the settlements, I certainly welcome the change of approach,” Netanyahu said.“President Trump believes that peace will only be achieved through direct negotiations. Does that sound familiar?” said Netanyahu. “He spoke to me at length about the threat from Iran. He also believes the nuclear deal with Iran is a bad deal. That certainly must ring a bell.”In his remarks, Netanyahu also indirectly took aim at his right-wing coalition partners for advancing a bid to annex the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim, saying that “now is not the time for surprises.”“We are facing great and significant opportunities for the security and future of the State of Israel. But they demand responsibility and discretion so that we don’t squander either the time or the opportunity,” he said. “Now is not the time for knee-jerk reactions, not the time for dictates, and also not the time for surprises.”“It is the time for responsible, wise diplomacy, with friends, diplomacy that will strengthen the coordination and trust between Israel and the new administration in Washington,” the prime minister said.“Therefore, for the benefit of the State of Israel and the settlements, I suggest putting aside any other considerations and letting me lead,” he said.The cabinet on Sunday unanimously agreed to push off a vote on annexing the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim until after Netanyahu and Trump meet. The proposal was made by Jewish Home leader Naftali Bennett, who has long proposed that Israel annex Area C (the parts of the West Bank under Israeli civilian and military control, in which the bulk of the Israeli settlements are located) and extend a type of semi-autonomy to Palestinians in the rest of the territory, arguing that the creation of a Palestinian state in that area poses a threat to Israel’s existence.According to reports, Netanyahu during Sunday’s cabinet meeting said he would remove all political obstacles to building in East Jerusalem and soon announce a construction boom in the settlement blocs. That pledge was reportedly what tipped Bennett to agree to delay the annexation proposal.Since the US election, Bennett and his Jewish Home party have called the entrance of Trump to the White House the death knell of the two-state solution.Speaking shortly before Netanyahu at the Jewish Home faction meeting, Bennett on Monday called the presidency of Donald Trump a “once-in-50-year opportunity.”“We give the prime minister full backing to act with courage and determination,” he said. “There is a view that holds that we need to continue to maneuver and defend ourselves. We think we should initiate and act.”The delay of the vote on the Ma’ale Adumim annexation bill also earned Netanyahu some rare praise from opposition leader Isaac Herzog.“The prime minister was correct not to give in to the demands of the radical right to tear everything apart and make irresponsible unilateral moves toward annexation,” Herzog said in his Zionist Union faction meeting on Monday.

You could not turn a corner in Germany without finding someone there against their will'-Researchers uncover vast numbers of unknown Nazi killing fields-The ‘Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos,’ set for completion in 2025, has now documented 42,500 sites of Nazi persecution — over eight times more than predicted. And the number keeps on rising-By Noah Lederman January 25, 2017, 4:05 pm-THE TIMES OF ISRAEL

MUNICH — In 2000, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, tasked researchers with creating a comprehensive, single-source record that would accurately document the thousands of persecution sites the Nazis had established. The USHMM estimated that the team would uncover about 5,000 persecution sites, which would include forced labor camps, military brothels, ghettos, POW camps, and concentration camps.But as the research got underway that number skyrocketed.In 2001, the number had doubled. A few years after that, researchers had already discovered 20,000 sites. Now, the “Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos, 1933-1945” contains more than 42,500 sites that the Nazis used to persecute, exploit, and murder their victims.“But quite frankly, you could put it much higher than that,” said Geoffrey Megargee, the project leader, who has coordinated the publication of the first two books of the seven-book series. The final encyclopedia book will be published in 2025.“You could not turn a corner in Germany [during the war]… without finding someone there against their will,” said Megargee.For Megargee, counting the sites was one of the main challenges of the project. For example, there were camps that changed purposes over time and brothels that existed within camps. To err on the side of caution, sites like these were counted only once. Researchers also refrained from counting sub-camps, of which there were tens of thousands.For researchers to conclude that a site had existed, they could not just rely on one person’s testimony. It was imperative that multiple witness testimonies and official documents corroborated each other in order for a site to make the series.Because a gap of more than half a century existed between when the last camp was liberated and when the project began, one can only imagine how many sites will remain forever unrecorded. Not only were records and testimonies destroyed or lost during and after the war, they were also in a myriad of languages, or hidden by embarrassed, indifferent or unapologetic parties. Some were taken to graves by witnesses and victims who had died before the new millennium.Still, the number of persecution sites discovered was more than eight times that which experts at the USHMM — the vanguard for Holocaust research — had predicted.Perhaps, however, it was only possible to reach this shocking figure precisely because of the passage of time — for time brought to the project an element that nobody had foretold.-Skeletons in the closet-When Hermann F. Weiss decided to dig into his family’s past in 2001, his siblings had disapproved. His brother told him that there was already enough written about the Holocaust. Weiss disagreed.“My family was anxious,” Weiss admitted. “They were afraid I would discover things about my father that were terrible.”His father, whom Weiss describes as an “accomplice,” was an engineer overseeing the construction of infrastructure for Schmidding, a German missile development company. Weiss needed answers. His father’s role during the war had haunted him.Weiss had even moved to the United States partly as a way to escape this familial and national burden, but the weight crossed the Atlantic with him. He felt depressed and ashamed. The only thing that Weiss saw as a reasonable response was “to give voice to the many unknown [victims].”He focused his research on Silesia, a region that spans parts of Poland, Germany, and what is today the Czech Republic. Silesia was where his father had worked for Schmidding and it was where, in 1944, Weiss had spent the seven happiest months of his childhood because “there was no bombing.”But investigating the atrocities in Silesia seemed to have no starting point. “Most historians do not touch [these sites],” he said, “because there are too few war-time documents.”-‘My family was afraid I would discover things about my father that were terrible’-After pouring through this limited number of documents and survivor memoirs, Weiss frequently turned to a practice despised by those forced to use it: cold calling. For example, he had read a memoir about a forced labor camp in Silesia that accused a commander named Kurt Pompe of barbaric acts. Weiss had learned that the first name of Pompe’s youngest son was Herbert. He found six Herbert Pompes in the German online phone directory, and his second call was answered by Kurt Pompe’s daughter-in-law.The conversation revealed a number of things, including where and when Kurt Pompe had died. This fact allowed Weiss to uncover Pompe’s denazification file, which showed that the Americans had been unaware of Pompe’s crimes. Weiss set the record straight in a Yad Vashem publication, and, in much briefer terms, in encyclopedia entries for camps where Pompe had committed his crimes.“The encyclopedia entries have to be very condensed,” Weiss explained, a hint of regret in his voice.Weiss’s research helped him to produce about two dozen entries on forced labor camps in Silesia for the encyclopedia series. Prior to his digging, most sites had little information published about them. Six sites, in fact, had never been written about before and were Weiss’s very own discoveries.And yet some of Weiss’s most indelible memories from his research have no place in the encyclopedia.-‘The seeming insignificance of it was so significant’-For instance, on a trip to Silesia, Hermann Weiss discovered one undocumented persecution site that appeared as it would have days after the arrival of Soviet troops. Villager testimonies allowed Weiss to locate six unmarked graves, where three Poles and three Jews who had been murdered were buried. Four of the six mounds were still visible. There was no space in the encyclopedia to tell these stories. But like the specter of his father’s work, it was these stories that gnawed at him.“The seeming insignificance of it,” Weiss explained, “was so significant.”-Dining with a murderer-Katherina von Kellenbach had grown up referring to Alfred Ebner as her uncle. Yet when the family got together with Ebner after World War II, his presence at the table never sat quite right with von Kellenbach.Ebner had been responsible for setting up, running, and orchestrating the mass killings of more than 20,000 Jews in Pinsk, where 86% of ghetto residents were women and children. After the war, when the courts pursued top Nazis, Ebner was granted clemency, having been diagnosed with a form of dementia.But at the family table, he seemed perfectly fine to von Kellenbach. In fact, the other family members had viewed Ebner as the victim. They considered that it was Ebner who had suffered because of these so-called unfounded accusations.If the courts would not hold Ebner accountable and if Belarus had no public memory of these atrocities, von Kellenbach decided that she would investigate.In 1999, she began her inquiry into her uncle’s past, visiting the Yad Vashem archive to gather data on Pinsk. But many documents were in Hebrew or other languages foreign to her. She needed help making sense of things. When she learned of a survivor from Pinsk who could be of assistance, she hesitated.“It was hard to call up some survivor and say ‘I’m the niece of Alfred Ebner,’” she said. But that’s just what she did, and for two days she and survivor Nahum Boneh sat at his kitchen table with all of the documents, unpacking Ebner’s crimes.For years, von Kellenbach worked to rescue documents trapped in other countries’ archives and at times had to run a cloak-and-dagger research operation. Since authorities would never have allowed her to conduct an unfettered investigation on a well-known perpetrator from the Pinsk region, she pretended to research partisans stationed in the vicinity of Pinsk. This gave her access.Her family cast a hostile eye on her work. But the research whittled at the lies, and Ebner’s credibility in the family weakened. For the most part, everyone stopped protesting her efforts, though Ebner’s children continued to view their father “as a good man, who helped many people,” said von Kellenbach.-‘There’s no way you walk out from the archive at 5:00 p.m. as a human being’-During one session with the documents, von Kellenbach had discovered writings in which a police officer under her uncle’s command complained about not knowing whether he should kill the child before the mother, or vice versa. On the day in question, Ebner had orchestrated the murders of more than 7,000 people.“There’s no way you walk out [from the archive] at 5:00 p.m. as a human being,” von Kellenbach said after reading those documents.-Time is on our side-The researchers are far more diverse than the relatives of perpetrators and accomplices. While the project has many dyed-in-the-wool historians on board, there are researchers who survived one or more of the 42,500 sites, as well as the descendants of survivors.Hannah Fischthal, for example, researched sites where her uncles had been imprisoned. Her work has helped to debunk inaccuracies. Karwin is a camp where her uncle had been imprisoned. It had always been considered a POW camp because of how it was characterized in a documentary film about an Italian prisoner. But Fischthal proved that Karwin was, in fact, a predominantly Jewish camp. The record was corrected and the Jewish victims were recently honored with a plaque at the site.Some researchers are finding camps in the way paleontologists might dig up dinosaurs. Now that the technology is available, forensic archaeologist Caroline Sturdy Colls has conducted ground-penetrating radar research near Adampol, where she has uncovered buried evidence that corroborated witness testimony and yielded new finds.Martin Dean, who worked as the series editor on the encyclopedia before leaving the museum and the project at the end of 2016, had originally been employed as a war crimes investigator with Scotland Yard. Dean had spent years building cases against perpetrators, but most yielded inadequate results — some former Nazis were excused because of poor health, others died before being brought to trial.While Dean’s expertise as an investigator was restricted by the courts, his acquired knowledge helped to correct the record for numerous previously unknown persecution sites, including some of the 300 ghettos that had never been documented before this project.-Bunker buster-About 14 kilometers (eight miles) north of Munich, is the town of Unterschleissheim. The entire area was once a persecution site, and researcher Max Strnand helped to document the Lohhof flax-retting plant, the camp that had once occupied these grounds.Besides the camp, Strnand explained, there was hardly anything in Unterschleissheim during the war. The location then only had a train line, a warehouse, and a tower, all of which still exist today: the train station is just down the road from where the warehouse and tower — now swathed in modern day advertisements — sit inside a locked compound.Because the land had been empty, the Nazis brought Jewish slaves and POWs to the fields to lay and dry out flax. The fibers from the stalk were then brought to the warehouse, where they would be stored as raw materials for linens.Before Strnand, there was no single source that told the story of the camp in Unterschleissheim and facts were scattered about like confetti after a hurricane. But Strnand patiently unearthed an entire history, including information about the prisoners, of which there were typically 200 at any one time.“We don’t know if people were executed here, but there were many accidents,” Strnand said. He noted, however, that only 10% of Jewish prisoners who came through Unterschleissheim survived the war, as the Jews from this camp were usually sent directly to extermination camps like Treblinka or Sobibor.-‘We don’t know if people were executed here, but there were many accidents’-“This topic is something that concerns everyone who lives here,” Strnand said, who now sees his book about Lohhof implemented into local schools’ history lessons. Prior to his book’s publication, most people in town had never known that a camp had existed.According to the city’s Head of Culture, Daniela Benker, there are plans to build a memorial site by 2018. But since the structures belonging to the former camp are behind a gate on private land, the aim is to build a memorial elsewhere — perhaps at the train station down the road — where it can be visible to the public.While Strnand walked the site, a truck approached the compound and the gate opened. He followed the truck inside and found a hulking electrician ending his day. Strnand introduced himself and asked permission to walk the grounds. The electrician pulled out a key that accessed a supply shed, a former Nazi bunker.The bunker looked like a typical storage shed; however, the reinforced roof that once provided additional safety against a bombing was still visible. What was most shocking was Strnand’s surprise. The researcher, who knew more about the camp than anyone else, was seeing the insides of this building for the very first time. Even the experts were still uncovering new facts about the hidden stories of the Holocaust.-The work is never done-The truth is much will remain unknown about the victims or the places that the Nazis used to dehumanize people and commit murder. But the encyclopedia series is the largest effort to most thoroughly document as many sites and include as much testimony as possible. When it is completed in 2025, many of the project’s researchers will still continue their work.-‘I keep collecting. I keep looking’-After Hermann Weiss finished correcting the record on Kurt Pompe, the Nazi from Silesia, he looked into the records of other criminals never brought to justice. Weiss came across hundreds of testimonies about a man named Hauschild, one of the most sadistic perpetrators in the Silesia region. Despite the accounts and accusations against Hauschild, the man remains Weiss’s greatest puzzle. Weiss cannot connect him to any particular Nazi organization and thus cannot condemn the man or his record accurately.“I keep collecting. I keep looking,” Weiss said. “This is an example of how so many things about the Holocaust might be unknown forever… [The encyclopedia] will provide some basis for further work.”Noah Lederman is the author of the memoir, ‘A World Erased: A Grandson’s Search for His Family’s Holocaust Secrets,’ published February 7 by Rowman & Littlefield
